Location
Location:The city of Machico is easily reached by public bus or taxi. The Hotel is situated within a few minutes' drive of Madeiras airport.The Dom Pedro Baía Club Hotel overlooks the beach of Machico Bay and is only a few steps away from the picturesque and historic fishing village which was Zarco's landfall when he discovered Madeira. This is where the Dom Pedro Baia stands, set in beautiful scenery where the green of the mountains meets the deep blue of the Atlantic.The So Roque Chapel is located in the neighbourhood of the hotel. It was built at the end of the 15th century to honour a vow made by the second Governor of Machico to the saint for his miracle of ending the then current plague. The village of Machico has another beautiful old church, dedicated to the Senhor dos Milagres, the Lord of Miracles, who saved Machico in the terrible flood of 1803: the anniversary is celebrated at a large festival every year on 9th February. For fine panoramas of Madeira's east coast, Columbus' island of Porto Santo and the desert islands, there are two excellent viewpoints above Machico. With its sports facilities and entertainment programme on this fabulous island, the Dom Pedro Baia offers both luxurious comfort and interesting activities for the more active holidaymaker. Reception will be happy to arrange golf at Santo da Serra, and diving lessons at the internationally accredited school in Machico.By Car from the Airport to the Hotel:Follow signs to Machico.
